Tender: Feasibility study of a pan-European pension fund for EU researchers
The European Commission's Directorate-General for Research has launched a call for tenders to study the feasibility of a pan-European pension fund for researchers. As foreseen in the 2008 'People' work programme, the contractor will study the legal, technical, and financial requirements for setting up a pan-European pension fund for EU researchers with existing legislation under the Second Pillar such as the Institutions of Occupational Retirement Provision ('IORP') Directive'. Life-insurance-based pension arrangements that could best fit researchers' needs will also be analysed.For further information, please contact: European Commission Directorate-General for Research attention: Massimo Serpieri B-1049 Brussels Fax +32 2 296 42 87 E-mail: rtd-eu-pension-fund@ec.europa.eu To see the full details of the call, please consult the following web address: http://ted.europa.eu/udl?uri=TED:NOTICE:251056-2008:TEXT:EN:HTML(opens in new window)
